Well, I don't know if you've noticed, but cyclists ride bikes, whereas car drivers drive cars. Car drivers should be prepared to take a bit more responsibility for their actions, given the amount of damage they can cause.
Anyway, is it seriously that big a deal? Avoid them, like you'd avoid a dog, or a toddler, or a man in a BMW, or some other agent that doesn't seem to comprehend the rules of the road, and then ignore the matter.

- hughw 14y agoTrue, it happens now and then. Man bites dog. But in general, a lot more motor vehicles hurt cyclists and pedestrians, than the other way around.
- to3m 14y agoTrue enough. Cyclists are moving objects, and therefore have the potential to cause damage, up to and including death, as per the poor victim in this case. But even including outliers, I simply think it very unlikely the damage will, on average, be as bad as if hit by a car.
